SErah An-Na~r : 110 : 1 - 3 906<br />
Pilgrimage may be explained by saying that the Holy Prophet % might<br />
have recited this Siirah and proclaimed it on one of those occasions; as a<br />
result people must have thought that it was revealed on that occasion.<br />
Please refer to Bayanul Qur'an for fuller explanation.<br />
Several Prophetic Traditions and statements of the Companions<br />
narrate that this Siirah indicates that the Holy Prophet $$$ has fulfilled<br />
his task, and accomplished his mission of life, and he could look forward to<br />
returning to his Lord in full favor as his death was approaching fast. The<br />
SErah teaches the Holy Prophet % the beautiful manners of asking<br />
Allah's forgiveness and offering constant praise and thanks to his Lord.<br />
It is reported in Muqatil's narration that when this SErah was<br />
revealed, the Holy Prophet recited it in a gathering of the blessed<br />
Companions, among whom were Sayyidna AbE Bakr, 'Umar, Sa'd Ibn Abl<br />

'AbbZs & began to weep. The Holy Prophet $#!$ asked him the reason for<br />
weeping, and he replied that it covertly conveys the termination of your<br />

SahTh of BukhZri records a similar explanation of this Siirah given by<br />
SayyidnZ Ibn 'Abbas & in which there is the addition that when<br />
Sayyidna 'Umar & heard this, he concurred with him and said: 'I do not<br />
know anything about it other than what you [Ibn 'AbbZs &I have said'.<br />

there were many people who were almost convinced of the verity of the<br />
Holy Prophet Muhammad $$$ and Islam, but there were several factors<br />
that were obstructing them to embrace the religion. Some people were<br />
afraid of the Quraishite opposition, or they were hesitant for some other<br />
reason. The Conquest of Makkah removed those obstacles, and people<br />
entered the fold of Islam in throngs. Seven hundred people from Yemen<br />
embraced the religion, and joined the Holy Prophet %. On the way, they<br />
recited the call to prayer [adhEnl and recited the Qur'an. In this way, the<br />
populace of Arabia embraced the religion of Islam and entered into its fold
